Has anyone had issues with your car battery dying after it was installed?

No problems so far but I would not use constant power to the unit due to constant battery drain. I would use a external power switch to control power.

I have not had an issue with the car battery since installing the DVD player and I do not know of anyone who has.

Yes. there is a wire on the unit for allowing the dome light to come on when you open the door. When that was connected to my car it would kill the battery. If you don't use that wire them the unit will only come on when the engine is running. This is how I resolved it.

yes the unit stay on ,you need to fit a kill switch so it does not draw power overnight

Absolutely. Last summer, I left my lights on and ran the battery dead. I jumped it from a car and then when I got home I put it on a Battery Tender, Jr. for a full day and let it charge up. It's been fine ever since. Were it an old school battery, I would have had problems from sulfating. These are incredible batteries, and, at least for mine, the Battery Tender worked perfectly.

I've had no problems with mine, make sure you read the instructions correctly, install new batteries, etc.

Yes, the battery appears to be working now and I am seeing the goodbye image when I shut off my ignition. It looks like the same unit I sent back. How did you fix it?

I've had mine plugged in for about 4 years now with no problems. It shuts down when you turn off your car. The only time I've had mine out was to check another vehicle for codes.

I had to just let the battery die when thus happened to me. Once it was dead, I plugged it into the charger and it seemed to work fine.

No. But the company denies there is a problem. If your unit is within the warranty period, they will replace it with another one that drains the battery. Then they deny there is a problem.

Sounds like your battery has an issue - I'd get a replacement if you're still within the allowed return period. Batteries are fickle things; even in $50,000 electric cars they sometimes croak...

as someone who works on computers what I can say that I doubt that your battery is the cause a problem.I have had no problems at all with my computer since I got the new battery.

didn't last long for me. however i am on my third one now. what i find is the corrosion of the spring contact that is the problem for me. now when i get a new one, the first thing i do is get some battery connection grease from the auto supply store for about a dollar and put it on the springs before i use it. stops the corrosion.

Did not have a problem with the battery door. Maybe you might want to try a different brand of battery and see if that makes a difference.

I have not had that problem, yet! Sometimes a battery will not receive a charge. I would buy a new battery for a cure>

Mine do it when I put the windows up or down. And if you look closely, they actually are always on, even if the car is off. But I haven't had any problems with my battery dying so it doesn't bother me!

I just replaced the battery in 1 of 2 units that I have when it displayed the low battery indicator. That unit was installed June 2008, and now it's November 2014, 6 years on a battery. I have a second unit that was installed July 2008, and the battery died January 2010. I tested that replaced battery now, and it still tests as good. This is already nearly 5 years on the replacement battery so far, therefore I assume the issue with the first one was a weak initial battery, and not the unit itself.

I haven't "timed" my batteries for actual charge time, however, if the OEM battery is still charging after being on the charger overnight, it may have been run down flat - that it was drained down so far, that it needed that much charge to come back to life. Of course, if the battery has been declining in capacity, it's entirely possible that it is "done"...they do die. I try to keep some charge in all my batteries all the time, and never let them go flat (zero charge).

I have found that a battery that sets in the store for a period of time will show weak. always best to check a battery with a good charge I have found. Even if I expect a bad battery in my auto"s I always try to charge and test them befor I just go and get a new one, have saved my self money doing this first..
